The Batavia City Council has approved a $4 million plan to replace residential lead-lined water pipes in homes throughout the city.
Most of the cost, about $3,984,353, will be paid for through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's"Get The Lead Out" grant program. The city is expected to fund the remaining $15,647.
The application process for the grant program began in 2021, when the city initially approved a $4 bond issue. The agreement with the IEPA was received in January, according to meeting documents. Through a series of surveys and other outreach, the city water department was able to identify more than 750 lines in need of replacement.
